Many Uses

Many Uses
My lawn mower, all-manual, was squeaking, and so I looked for a lubricant and found this slightly rusty can of "household oil." Although it did not list lawn mowers among the possible uses, I noticed that the list included typewriters. The can has been around a while! I tried it on the mower, applied it liberally in many places. It worked and no doubt would have worked on my typewriter if I still had it. Some days I do miss it.

indisputably old but it wears a barcode thus making it part of the modern age. I recall their introduction in the UK. All those price guns suddenly redundant, and presumably their operators too, unless they could be redeployed.

I have two very old cans of this, been using them since the last century. A million uses over a long period of time.
